why you running that big of a rotor in the rear? just for looks? i wouldn't spend too much cash on that, it won't ever matter, and adds weight, the enemy. looks like they are drilled, don't go slotted+drilled, if you actually heat them up consistently they will fail...and that's a horrible thing to have go down. solid+vented is the best way to go...function>form sir!

I'm still debating on doing the full APR RSC exhaust to mine. I like not being loud tho, that's my major reason for debating it. That and I'm not really looking at a huge gain from it and bumping it up to stage 2. The only thing you NEED to go to stage 2 with the MKVs is an aftermarket less restrictive downpipe. I'm thinking I could maybe just change the pipe and leave the rest of the cat back the way it is... And the downpipe will add a little bit of deep tone to it but not make it as loud as a full out exhaust. Even tho I do like the rasp of the full RSC exhaust. APR has some videos comparing the two and I kinda dig it.

But I HATE that rat sound from shitty Hondas and stuff. Then again I could just save my money and buy a cruiser bike like I was planning on. I'm kind of content with my car. It's a quick 14 flat machine, gets good mileage, I can haul my bass gear in it. I don't wanna drop tons of money in it.

I would suggest doing the downpipe or at least changing the big suitcase muffler for a higher flowing one.. And you wont sound like a honda.. Vw motors are more throaty.. I have a full 3" exhaust in my car and I like the sound.. It almost sounds like a vr.

2.5" d/p and catback sounds really good, not ricey at all, plus it will give you a performance boost as well as better mpgs. APR is way overpriced, shop around, techtonics makes a good little setup at a fair price.
